Which WB O2 sensor is OK and Wiring Qs

[efi_student]

Sensor.  For some reason, they call it a connector, but that is
consistent with other Bosch sensors that they list.  Odd nomenclature,
but what ever works.  They have a decent return policy, so if it is
wrong, the cost is small, shipping and restocking.  I believe I have
paid more than that for a number of parts/pieces that got lost/destroyed
in experiments or performance trials.  If it is five wire, woohoo!

Am I missing something here?  Are you ordering a connector or a sensor?
